Sliced Score Matching: A Scalable Approach to Density and Score Estimation

This repo contains a PyTorch implementation for the paper Sliced Score Matching: A Scalable Approach to Density and Score Estimation, UAI 2019. Sliced score matching is a scalable variant of score matching that can be used to train unnormalized statistical models or estimating the score (derivatives of the log-density function) of data.

Dependencies

The following are packages needed for running this repo.

  • PyTorch==1.0.1
  • TensorFlow==1.12.0
  • tqdm
  • tensorboardX
  • Scipy
  • PyYAML

Running the experiments

python main.py --runner [runner name] --config [config file]

Here runner name is one of the following:

  • DKEFRunner. This corresponds to experiments on deep kernel exponential families.
  • NICERunner. This corresponds to the sanity check experiment of training a NICE model.
  • VAERunner. Experiments on VAEs.
  • WAERunner. Experiments on Wasserstein Auto-Encoders (WAEs).

and config file is the directory of some YAML file in configs/.

For example, if you want to train an implicit VAE of latent size 8 on MNIST with Sliced Score Matching, just run

python main.py --runner VAERunner --config vae/mnist_ssm_8.yml
